SANTA ANA, Calif. - An exhibition celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Philharmonic Society of Orange County is now on display at John Wayne Airport (JWA) in the Orange County: Destination Art & Culture exhibition space, located along the pedestrian walkway connecting the Terminal B and C ticketing lobbies. The exhibition is open to the general public, passengers and visitors to the Airport through April 2014.

"JWA welcomes the Philharmonic Society of Orange County to this unique exhibit space that allows us to connect Orange County's non-profit art and cultural organizations with the millions of passengers and visitors who travel through our facility each year," said Airport Director Alan L. Murphy.
